The competitive edge, delivered. This Customer Intelligence Engine simultaneously analyzes the web, Reddit, and X/Twitter to generate a professional, actionable executive briefing. 🎯 Problem Statement Traditional market research for Customer Intelligence (CI) is manual, slow, and often relies on surface-level social media scraping or expensive external reports. Service companies, like HVAC providers, struggle to efficiently synthesize vast volumes of online feedback (Reddit discussions, real-time tweets, web articles) to accurately diagnose systemic service gaps (e.g., scheduling friction, poor automated systems). This inefficiency leads to delayed strategic responses and missed opportunities to invest in high-impact solutions like AI voice agents. ✨ Solution This workflow deploys a sophisticated Multisource Intelligence Pipeline that runs on a scheduled or ad-hoc basis. It uses parallel processing to ingest data from three distinct source types (SERP API, Reddit, and X/Twitter), employs a zero-cost Hybrid Categorization method to semantically identify operational bottlenecks, and uses the Anthropic LLM to synthesize the findings into a clear, executive-ready strategic brief. The data is logged for historical analysis while the brief is dispatched for immediate action. ⚙️ How It Works (Multi-Step Execution) Ingestion and Parallel Processing (The Data Fabric) Trigger:** The workflow is initiated either on an ad-hoc basis via an n8n Form Trigger or on a schedule (Time Trigger). Parallel Ingestion:** The workflow immediately splits into three parallel branches to fetch data simultaneously: SERP API: Captures authoritative content and industry commentary (Strategic Context). Reddit (Looping Structure): Fetches posts from multiple subreddits via an Aggregate Node workaround to get authentic user experiences (Qualitative Signal). X/Twitter (HTTP Request): Bypasses standard rate limits to capture real-time social complaints (Sentiment Signal). Analysis and Fusion (The Intelligence Layer) Cleanup and Labeling (Function Nodes):** Each branch uses dedicated Function Nodes to filter noise (e.g., low-score posts) and normalize the data by adding a source tag (e.g., 'Reddit'). Merge:** A Merge Node (Append Mode) fuses all three parallel streams into a single, unified dataset. Hybrid Categorization (Function Node):** A single Function Node applies the Hybrid Categorization Logic. This cost-free step semantically assigns a pain_point category (e.g., 'Call Hold/Availability') and a sentiment_score to every item, transforming raw text into labeled metrics. Dispatch and Reporting (The Executive Output) Aggregation and Split (Function Node):** The final Function Node calculates the total counts, deduplicates the final results, and generates the comprehensive summaryString. Data Logging:* The aggregated counts and metrics are appended to Google Sheets* for historical logging. LLM Input Retrieval (Function Node):** A final Function Node retrieves the summary data using the $items() helper (the serial route workaround). AI Briefing:* The *Message a model (Anthropic) Node receives the summaryString and uses a strict HTML System Prompt to synthesize the strategic brief, identifying the top pain points and suggesting AI features. Delivery:* The Gmail Node* sends the final, professional HTML brief to the executive team. 🛠️ Setup Steps Credentials Anthropic:** Configure credentials for the Language Model (Claude) used in the Message a model node. SERP API, Reddit, and X/Twitter:** Configure API keys/credentials for the data ingestion nodes. Google Services:** Set up OAuth2 credentials for Google Sheets (for logging data) and Gmail (for email dispatch). Configuration Form Configuration:** If using the Form Trigger, ensure the Target Keywords and Target Subreddits are mapped correctly to the ingestion nodes. Data Integrity:** Due to the serial route, ensure the Function (Get LLM Summary) node is correctly retrieving the LLM_SUMMARY_HOLDER field from the preceding node's output memory. ✅ Benefits Proactive CI & Strategy:** Shifts market research from manual, reactive browsing to proactive, scheduled data diagnostic. Cost Efficiency:** Utilizes a zero-cost Hybrid Categorization method (Function Node) for intent analysis, avoiding expensive per-item LLM token costs. Actionable Output:** Delivers a fully synthesized, HTML-formatted executive brief, ready for immediate presentation and strategic sales positioning. High Reliability:** Employs parallel ingestion, API workarounds, and serial routing to ensure the complex workflow runs consistently and without failure.

This workflow monitors targeted subreddits for potential sales leads using Reddit’s API, AI content analysis, Supabase, and Google Sheets. It is built specifically to discover posts from Reddit users who may benefit from a particular product or service. It can be easily customized for any market. 🔍 Features Targeted Subreddit Monitoring:** Searches multiple niche subreddits like smallbusiness, startup, sweatystartup, etc., using relevant keywords. AI-Powered Relevance Scoring:** Uses OpenAI GPT to analyze each post and determine if it’s written by someone who might benefit from your product, returning a simple “yes” or “no.” Duplicate Lead Filtering with Supabase:** Ensures you don’t email the same lead more than once by storing already-processed Reddit post IDs in a Supabase table. Content Filtering:** Filters out posts with no body text or no upvotes to ensure only high-quality content is processed. Lead Storage in Google Sheets:** Saves qualified leads into a connected Google Sheet with key data (URL, post content, subreddit, and timestamp). Email Digest Alerts:** Compiles relevant leads and sends a daily digest of matched posts to your team’s inbox for review or outreach. Manual or Scheduled Trigger:** Can be manually triggered or automatically scheduled (via the built-in Schedule Trigger node). ⚙️ Tech Stack Reddit API** – For post discovery OpenAI Chat Model** – For AI-based relevance filtering Supabase** – For lead de-duplication Google Sheets** – For storing lead details Gmail API** – For sending email alerts 🔧 Customization Tips Adjust Audience**: Modify the subreddits and keywords in the initial Code node to match your market. Change the AI Prompt**: Customize the prompt in the “Analysis Content by AI” node to describe your product or service. Search Comments Instead**: To monitor comments instead of posts, change type=link to type=comment in the Reddit Search node. Change Email Recipients**: Edit the Gmail node to direct leads to a different email address or format.

How it works: Daily Trigger: Every morning at 8 AM, the workflow is automatically triggered. Fetch Trending Topics: The workflow collects trending topics from external sources, such as news RSS feeds and Reddit popular posts. These trends are merged and summarized to provide up-to-date context for content generation. Read Active Campaigns: The workflow reads all rows from the “Active Campaigns” Google Sheet, but only processes campaigns with a status of "active" to avoid generating content for paused or inactive campaigns. Enrich Campaigns with Trends: Each active campaign is enriched with the latest trending topics, so the generated content can reference current events or popular themes. AI Content Generation: For each enriched campaign, Groq AI generates: An engaging post caption tailored to the platform and target audience Creative direction with visual suggestions Relevant hashtags (5-10) Best posting time recommendation for the platform Quality Scoring: The workflow calculates a quality score for each generated content idea, considering factors like caption length, hashtag count, and creative direction. Append to Google Sheets: The generated content ideas, along with their quality scores and other details, are appended to the “Daily Content Plan” Google Sheet for record-keeping and team collaboration. Schedule in Google Calendar: For each campaign, an event is created in Google Calendar with the content details and recommended posting time, ensuring the team is reminded to review or publish the content. Daily Email Summary (Optional): At the end of the process, a summary email can be sent to the team, including statistics such as the number of campaigns processed, average quality score, and a platform breakdown. Set up steps: Prepare Your Google Sheets: Create a sheet named “Active Campaigns” with columns: Project Name, Theme, Target Audience, Platform, and Status (to mark campaigns as active/inactive). Create another sheet named “Daily Content Plan” with columns for Project Name, Date, Platform, Caption, Creative Direction, Hashtags, and any other details you want to track. Connect Google Services to n8n: In n8n, set up and authenticate your Google Sheets and Google Calendar credentials. You can find authentication information in the n8n documentation for Google credentials. Add a Cron Node: Drag in a Cron node and set it to trigger every day at 8:00 AM. Read Campaigns from Google Sheets: Add a Google Sheets node. Set the operation to “Read Rows” and select your “Active Campaigns” sheet. (Optional) Use a Filter or IF node to process only rows where Status is “active”. (Optional) Fetch Trending Topics: If you want to enrich your content with trending topics, add nodes to fetch data from RSS feeds, Reddit, or other sources. Process Each Campaign: Use a SplitInBatches node to process each campaign row individually. Generate Content Ideas with Groq AI: Add a Groq AI node (or OpenAI node if Groq is not available). Configure the prompt to generate a content idea using the campaign’s theme, target audience, and platform. You can reference fields from the Google Sheets node using expressions like $("Google Sheets").item.json['Theme']. Append Results to “Daily Content Plan”: Add another Google Sheets node. Set the operation to “Append” and select your “Daily Content Plan” sheet. Map the generated content fields to the appropriate columns. Schedule Events in Google Calendar: Add a Google Calendar node. Set the operation to “Create Event”. Use the project name and content idea for the event title and description, and set the event time as needed. (Optional) Send a Daily Summary Email: Add an Email node to send a summary of the day’s content plan to your team. Test the Workflow: Run the workflow manually to ensure all steps work as expected. Check that new content ideas appear in the “Daily Content Plan” sheet and that events are created in Google Calendar. Activate the Workflow: Once you’ve confirmed everything works, activate the workflow so it runs automatically every morning.
